Jordan Matechuk discontinued using anti-depressants and began to take steroids

Jordan Matechuk, a Canadian football player was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught having more than 540 pills of oral steroids and over 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was driving to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Matechuck said that his depression was responsible for the decision to purchase and apply anabolic steroids.
Matechuk noted that he administered anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to get rid of his depression. The football player noticed that earlier he had administered anti-depressant drugs. Stopping utilizing anti-depressant drugs probably led to usage of steroids.
Matechuk noted that he suffered from depression. He began to administer steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk admitted that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped utilizing  anti-depressant drugs. But he stopped administering them. This factor resulted in administration of steroids.
Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
Although he faced up to 2-year imprisonment, he was sentenced to 90 years in jail. But he was released after he served just 60 days.
Jordan Matechuk confirmed that there were some other circumstances but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League provided him another possibility to play professional football.
He wrote a letter and sent it to every member of the team. He claimed about his shame for the arrest related to possession and usage of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t desire to receive the steroid user back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to give him the second chance. Thus, Jordan Matechuk was happily accepted by this team.

Bullying excuse is accepted in Australian court

Brenton Dowell, an Australian bodybuilder, was caught possessing and importing great quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be applied for over 60 years by a person. A lot of people thought that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to prison. But Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service confirmed that Brenton Dowell had attempted to import illegally more than 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages that contained the raw steroid powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were shipped to three various places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
Actually, such large quantities of raw testosterone powder could be purchased only for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs in order to sell them on the black market. 3, 000 g of raw steroid powder could be utilized for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready preparations.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, argued that the testosterone powder had been bought for his client’s personal application. He noticed that Dowell’s administration of steroids was a response to bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight boy. So, according to the defense attorney Len Hartnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and began to administer steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was impressed by affirmations of the defense attorney that described experiences of Brenton Dowell in his childhood. He noticed that it could be concluded that Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
So, the judge accepted bullying excuse. Based on the descriptions and affirmations of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks believed that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had bought steroids for self-administration and for sales to his friends in order to pay off self-administration.
The bodybuilder Brenton Dowell was sentenced to a fine of 10, 000 dollars and 2-year suspended sentence.

Misleading news: steroids purchased per internet cause death

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, confirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year guy, had been caused by administration of anabolic steroids. She noted that anabolic steroids had caused heart failure which had resulted in the death.
According to the pathologist Howarth, if this boy had not used steroids, he would have been alive today. She said that usage of steroids was the only reason of the death. Georgina Howarth added that the death of this guy was a lesson for every person to be far from such medications.
The sister of Mohammed Belkhair found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The guy acknowledged that he had administered steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been presented in his system.
According to several articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were 2 steroids that were found in the system of the guy. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But actually, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen is not included in anabolic steroids. This preparation has been initially introduced to cure persons that have breast cancer. It has become popular among athletes and bodybuilders that apply steroids due to its ability to prevent aromatization of other medications.
It seems to be strange but nothing was noticed about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officials. 4 different anabolic steroids were found in the room of this person. But the names of the steroids were not identified.
However the police encounter and arrest occurred several hours before the death of this guy, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Furthermore, she didn’t present any explanation about this aspect. Police revealed nothing as well.
Since it was announced that Mohammed Belkhair had bought steroids via internet, the news linked with dangers of getting steroids per internet were spread in the country. Thus, it turned out to be convenient for changing the laws in order to make purchases of steroids via internet illegal in Britain. The British government intends to make personal import of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. However it is said that these amendments will be enacted before the 2012 Olympic Games, they are not still enacted.

Olympic minister Hugh Robertson: it is necessary to have a universal law related to sentencing of athletes that use steroids

Officials of the British government will be not capable to stop athletes importing steroids to the UK, when they come to take part in the 2012 Summer Olympics. Although intake of steroids is prohibited in sports, personal administration of these products is not illegal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is considered to be illegal in this country. So, if a person attempts to import quantity of anabolic steroids that is essentially large, he/she will not be permitted to do it.
Before Olympics took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed legislation connected with import and administration of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t agree to change steroid laws for the 2012 Olympics.
Ironically, while the government of the UK doesn’t want to make personal administration of steroids illegal, Britain athletes are banned for lifetime, if they take anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, sportspeople that administer forbidden medications are banned for 2 years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson claims that it is needed to have a universal law related to sentencing. This minister insists on at least four years or even longer.  While he is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t support such harsh sanction. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson claims that some sanctions must be softened.
The Olympic minister acknowledges that there are various points of view in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask the CEO of the UKAD to resign.
The spokesman for the minister has claimed that any athlete can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the amount of steroids must demonstrate that he/she has them only for personal administration. The spokesperson has added that it is not illegal for a sportsperson to use steroids under laws of the UK but if any sportsperson is caught using banned products, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noticed that they would cooperate with border control officers. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping officers.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Prolonged usage of steroids may lead to serious heart problems

Prolonged usage of anabolic steroids may lead to various heart dysfunctions. It enhances dangers connected with heart failure. These statements have been made due to a research that has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act like testosterone which occurs naturally and which is responsible for development of male sex features.
The leader of the study Aaron L. Baggish claims that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are associated with negative effects for health. He notes that it is the first time, when negative influence of prolonged application of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The research displayed that the left ventricle in consumers of steroids was essentially weaker during contraction than in those that didn’t use steroids.
A left ventricle which works properly pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 users of steroids were implicated in the study. It was manifested that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users acted improperly: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users only one person experienced disorders related to the function of the left ventricle.
The research displayed that ventricle relaxation among consumers of steroids was lowered by circa half. It was 0, 93 among users of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-users. The structure of the left ventricle was the same in both groups: steroid users and non-users.
It was applied the test “Doppler echocardiography” for evaluation of function and structure of the left ventricle. This technique uses ultrasound for creation of moving pictures of the heart and its blood flow.
 The group of steroid users included twelve weightlifters at the age of about 40 that claimed that they applied approximately 675 mg of steroids per week for 9 years. The other group included weightlifters that didn’t take steroids. Both groups had similar physical activity and the same risks related to heart diseases. But they had differences in body mass and muscle size. The consumers of steroids had more muscular appearance.
Although small number of steroid users has been included in the research, the results have demonstrated that there is a close connection between application of steroids and heart impairment.
The scientists decided to conduct further researches in order to support the results of this research.
Baggish and his colleagues suggest that people will comprehend that usage of steroids can cause heart problems and different unexplained heart disorders in young persons.

Jay Cutler speaks about methods that are used for success in bodybuilding

Bodybuilding is not included in exciting sports. Any bodybuilder may support this statement. Those who are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare appropriate food and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders reach high results, they receive awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become celebrated.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is needed much work and money for this purpose. But any bodybuilder dreams about this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to obtain money and other awards. If you have any interest to find out what is required for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and certain other persons. You can also find out role of steroids for achievement of success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most well-known bodybuilders in history. In addition to this fact, he has received Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This person spends much time for sports. He notes that he doesn’t make plans. He eats around the clock. Jay Cutler consumes 4, 000 – 7, 000 calories daily. Chicken breasts are at the center of his much food.
It is interesting to mention that Cutler spends more time for eating than for workouts. He lifts for about two hours and gets cardio an hour per day. Cutler states that his day differs substantially from thoughts of people about it. People that are not involved in bodybuilding suggest that bodybuilders train 8 hours a day. They suppose that if they take steroids, they will have the same appearance like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler claims that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a great role in it. He claims that if anyone desires to achieve great success in sports, he/she should use steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He notes that it is not possible to compete without application of these medications. After certain shows Ron Stevens decided to apply steroids.
Stevens is a dedicated bodybuilder as well. He consumes much food that could be enough for a family that consists of five members.
The most of bodybuilders haven’t obtained great supplement contracts. They don’t have sufficient money to support their efforts and obtain titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of serious bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will achieve great success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. He worked and spent every dollar he had for bodybuilding. Finally, he obtained great success. His each effort was paid off.
Pondering about Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged to hope that he will succeed essentially one day. Infamous bodybuilders can dream at least.

Real facts display that the UFC doesn’t do everything possible in the struggle against doping

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of prohibited medications.  Dana White confirms that the UFC fights seriously to push forbidden drugs out of sports. He affirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this purpose.
Unluckily, statements of the UFC President are presented only for public relations purposes. They are completely false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, fighting against administration of banned products.
The UFC President thinks that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notices that they have 375 fighters under contract. Dana White says that it is impossible to perform random tests because these athletes live everywhere; they travel around the world. The UFC President finds it unreal to travel in different countries, looking for these 375 persons, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White desires to convince others that it is not possible to test randomly 375 UFC sportspersons, other sport organizations do it with their sportspersons. They perform random testing with success.
It isn’t totally clear what happens really. Does Dana White want to mislead public about administration of prohibited drugs by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant wholly, when it comes to the Code of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency thinks that the UFC does everything in order to avoid following the laws of the WADA. They have own points of views and struggle against the WADA rules. Although the UFC confirms that they try to protect their sports from administration of prohibited preparations by the WADA rules, the reality demonstrates that it is not true. The UFC laws are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

After death of Mike Wallace the interest to the case of Roger Clemens was renewed

Mike Wallace, a prominent investigative journalist, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This reporter presented fascinating interviews with world well-known persons. The most recent stories were about the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations related to application of anabolic steroids and HGH by this sportsperson. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was linked with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was broadcast in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this baseball star in the Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This person accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to find out the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he took steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had used neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens stated that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had used steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a calamitous public relations maneuver for his defense attorney. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace had died.
Actually, Wallace hosted much more significant interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most significant. Why did it draw all persons’ attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite significant. Wallace interviewed the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace called the Watergate scandal “perjury”. He named such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal led to resignation of the president.
Wallace arranged also an interview with the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The journalist identified him as a “lunatic”. However, he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another person that was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge linked with nature of nicotine.
However these interviews were significant, a lot of persons directed their attention to insignificant interview with the former baseball player Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress may cause federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Mustard can help to stay lean

Several late researches have defined some positive effects of mustard. It is known by everyone that it is an excellent remedy which adds pleasant flavor to food. Moreover, it has been defined that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research related to mustard has been led by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been reported under results of the study that a compound which is named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is capable to increase lean muscle mass and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid that has been found in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it is able to induce growing plants. But no one has been aware about its role in mammals. The specialists have discovered that homobrassinolide may cause anabolic effects in mammals. It promotes enhancing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and increases muscle mass through increase of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved in the study. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been applied in order to check changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been observed that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have gained essentially more muscle mass than those that have not been given this compound.
Enhancement of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. High BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to remain lean.
So, the research has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers that play an important role for increase of endurance.
Specialists think that such plants, as mustard, can be used for more increased brassinosteroid content. It may help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent certain illnesses.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce preparations which will be useful in case of certain illnesses linked with muscle wasting. Such preparations can be utilized as alternative medications to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no negative reactions.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent a good source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard can be utilized for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to acquire some positive effects.

However Dr. Beltran didn’t have any direct contact with top athletes since 2009, he supplied them with doping drugs

A steroid investigation by Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional resulted in arrest of ten persons that were involved in a steroid chain. These individuals supplied top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related products.  The operation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was settled in Barcelona.
The investigation was originally related to the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was defined that David Garcia Dapena had high hematocrit levels which indicated about application of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny application of the prohibited drug. He collaborated with the police. David Garcia admitted that he had purchased drugs with performance-enhancing effects from the physician Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was defined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization connected with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other athletes with forbidden drugs. It was also determined that some sportspersons who took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships were included in the group of sportspeople who bought steroids and other forbidden medications from this doping ring.
It was even earlier supposed that Beltran supplied athletes with steroids and other related drugs and taught them how to avoid detection. He was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car that was full of steroids and other related substances.
Nuno Ribeiro, a Portuguese professional cyclist, accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with prohibited preparations after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation which had been led against Beltran after this runner tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the physician had no any direct contact with any sportsperson.
Nevertheless, the police believe that he has established a team of intermediaries in various countries. They have bought steroids and other related medications and supplied top sportspersons with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officials. He was caught having AICAR and TB-500.
Although no any athlete has tested positive for these medicines, it is believed that several athletes have planned to administer these preparations.

About 900 teenage sex workers in Bangladesh apply corticosteroids

Young females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution use steroids in order to add weight and bulk up. It has been reported by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is claimed that prostitutes from Bangladesh take steroids in order to have better appearance. Undoubtedly, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are related to administration of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, any person can see that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are available at pharmacies of Bangladesh is sold under the trade name Oradexon. It is not needed to have a prescription in order to buy this medication. It costs approximately 15 taka that equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this drug is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication that is directed for treatment of persons who experience various illnesses. This medicine is over 25 times more potent that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal bagnios from Bangladesh administer the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 teenage female prostitutes who utilize this medicine systematically. They apply it by own choice or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to take it. But others administer this product willingly because it is stated that corticosteroids are able to enhance strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but prostitutes from Bangladesh  who utilize corticosteroids have the same purposes like those which encourage bodybuilders to administer anabolic steroids. Sex workers administer corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and stimulate appetite.
It is claimed that Oradexon is able to give healthy appearance to consumers. Customers appreciate it. A woman that is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh notes that customers are seeking healthy ladies. Since she needs money to pay her bills and loans, she should have customers every day. If she doesn’t have any customer a day, she doesn’t have what to eat. Moreover, she tries to earn money for her son.
Actually, negative consequences that can appear due to corticosteroids are much more serious than those that can appear due to application of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids may affect immune system, lead to osteoporosis and insulin resistance, stimulate appetite unusually, and enhance weight and fat.
Specialists try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and probable unwanted reactions of them.

What is it important to comprehend about AndroGel dosage to acquire needed effects?
AndroGel dosage is indicated by health care providers who take into account following factors: testosterone levels of patients, responses of their systems to usage of this preparation, individual conditions and other medications that are used by patients. It is commonly directed to begin with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg a day. The quantity is corrected during the treatment. If serum testosterone levels are very reduced, the quantity must be increased. If the levels are higher than the normal level, the treatment with this gel should be discontinued. The dosage should be regulated only by specialists but not by those who administer this preparation.

D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean were suspended because they provided “non-human” urine samples for drug testing

The National Football League suspended the linebacker D. J. Williams and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were suspended from 6 games. But they were not suspended for application of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other controlled substances. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the drug testing officer.
D. J. William claimed that he had never tested for any banned drug during 8 years of his career. He added that he was proud of his records. The football player noticed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsperson.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, claimed that the NFL had violated rights of the defensive lineman. He mentioned that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited substance, the NFL didn’t have any right to ban him.
Peter Schaffer claimed that he intended to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for banned medications.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
The players affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer noted that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal related to his suspension from 50 games for usage of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that the drug testing officer Dino Laurenzi violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, different anti-doping agencies defended and supported him. The WADA also supported him. It was confirmed that there was the same procedure of collecting and sending urine samples not only for the MLB but also for the WADA.
But as for the drug testing officer that collected samples of Williams and McBean, another attitude was displayed to him. He was fired by the NFL for wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators admitted that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

What can be called “a medication”?

What can be called “a medicine”? The FDA claims that a medicine is a substance; it is not a supplement. It is utilized for diagnosis, cure, prevention of diseases, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to notice that a drug is a drug which has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But you may face certain ambiguity nowadays. A law that has been introduced in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between supplements and drugs. So, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has induced developing the disorder in clear definitions. People’ ignorance and several legislative affirmations with doubled sense have played important role in creation of following wrong conception: everything that is sold is safe.
This incorrect conception led to different serious problems. For example, over a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of intake of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. In fact, it has been set that those soldiers had used an amphetamine-like synthetic substance that has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It had negative influence on their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a medicine. Although it is a forbidden compound used by sportspersons, it is getable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell products which are similar to that substance mentioned above. They are getable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another product is DHEA. It is a steroid which can be transformed in consumers’ systems into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a supplement actually?
Another preparation which is purchasable as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various compounds. But does anybody know which substances are contained in the bottle? May anybody reassure that they are safe for intake?
One of people’s mistakes is that they believe the following way: if any product is derived from plants, it is safe for application. Many persons think that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to believe this way. There are plants which are poisonous. It is forbidden to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that caused Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is claimed to be one of the most toxicant compounds on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is important to know what you use in order to prevent taking products that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to sell drugs as if they were dietary supplemenets? Supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we can say about affirmations with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to elaborate preparations which are labeled as supplements. But are they really supplements? Some medications are purchasable, being labeled as dietary supplements. But it is wrong completely. These products may be unsafe.
Does anyone suggest that anabolic steroids and other related medications may be labeled as supplements? Do they supplement or cure? A term was introduced in order to avoid using medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does “to support” mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to treat”?
The FDA wants to establish control over supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds millions of dollars in order to determine whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to severe negative consequences. But as for manufacturers of dietary supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement regulations are based on money and not on science. Actually, they should have the same requirements like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Key facts about Anavar side effects
It is possible to fix the most normal Anavar side effects. Such side symptoms which occur in increased percentage of those who utilize this drug belong to this group. Let note these unwanted responses: unusual changes in mood, lack of appetite, acne formation, hair loss, itching, sensation of a need to vomit, vomiting, breathing troubles, dark urine and worsening of sexual life. However these reactions are quite unpleasant, there is a positive side here. Several Anavar side effects happen because of genetic predisposition and improper usage of this steroid. Thus, if you are not predisposed genetically to these undesirable effects and follow all indications, you may avoid them.

Expectations of trainers induce using steroids by young sportspersons

Brian McNamee affirms that coaches are the main persons who promote application of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids notes that trainers have the most essential influence on decisions of young sportspeople to apply prohibited drugs. Their influence is bigger than one of street dealers that offer prohibited substances for sales, trying to convince young sportspersons that they can succeed due to application of these medications. Brian McNamee supposes that trainers and the society teach young sportspeople that they must win at any cost. This factor pressures students that are involved in sports. It leads to their decision to administer steroids and other related products.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his point of view at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He had a speech  during a presentation which was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He got an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee donated this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer who has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was claimed that he stored all syringes and vials that were applied for injecting Clemens with steroids during about 7 years. He supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee induced publication of the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was publicized in December 2007. Statements of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski were the base for publishing the report. They provided evidence linked with usage of steroids in professional baseball. These persons were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement that was reached due to charges related to steroids.
The agreement also suggests that McNamee will testify as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He couldn’t report details connected with the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he reports the story related to Clemens.
Although it was declared a mistrial in the first trial linked with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled another trial.

Do you want to see a match of MMA between Shaquille O’Neal and Jose Canseco?

It has been recently noted that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have spoken about their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. The challenge was made by O’Neal last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take him seriously. Just now Jose Canseco began to take him seriously.
A lot of people suggest that Jose Canseco needs money since he has been invited to play for the Triple-A Quintana Roo Tigres of the Mexican Baseball League.
Jose Canseco should submit to a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is stated, he takes Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are recommended by his health care provider for testosterone replacement therapy. Although he has justified medical purposes for application of these preparations, he has to obtain several specified documents to be allowed to play baseball professionally. While his fate related to playing baseball professionally is not yet decided, he intends to fight against O’Neal in a ring.
Shaquille O’Neal has said that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He reported that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t trouble that Jose Canseco takes anabolic steroids. He possesses own secret methods and he hopes that he can neutralize effects of Jose Canseco which are caused by application of Testosterone Cypionate.
Jose Canseco was scheduled to fight against Lenny Dykstra, a former player of the MLB. When this man played baseball professionally, he also applied anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane states in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has acknowledged that he took anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had caused steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, said that he supplied Lenny Dykstra with preparations that increase performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also noticed that he injected Dykstra with steroids several times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Lenny Dykstra was prosecuted on certain counts, including thefts, false financial statements and possession of controlled substances. Finally, he was imprisoned.
O’Neil offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked the UFC’s president Dana White to arrange a match with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of O’Neil.

The BOA doesn’t want to change the law on steroids which contradicts to the WADA Code

The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the fact that it violates rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to laws of the WADA, punishment for administration of anabolic steroids and other related preparations have to be unvarying in the whole  world. The penalty that is indicated for a sportsperson that has administered prohibited drugs for the first time is sentencing to suspension of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association thinks that such punishment isn’t sufficient. The BOA sentences users of steroids for life-time suspensions from taking part in the Olympic Games. The WADA notes that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code that is unvarying.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to concede. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The athletes that had applied banned medicines were banned by the International Olympic Committee from taking part in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
The chairman of the BOA confirmed that the law of the BOA connected with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA thinks that it has the best rules.
Moynihan supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson who noticed that British laws linked with intake of prohibited drugs were superior. He noted that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson thinks that dopers must be punished strictly. They must be banned for the whole life. According to his statements, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the rule of the WADA to sentence cheaters only for 2-year bans. He confirms that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He notices that if the rest part of the world doesn’t want to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain must follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes statements pronounced by Daley, noting that steroid testing has been only on its early level of development, when he has won his gold medals in Olympics in Moscow and Los Angeles.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency, blames the BOA for its refusal to submit to the laws of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that ordinarily criticizes cheaters criticizes the BOA for the strict rule.
Travis states that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, anyone must obey them.
Dwain Chambers and David Millar, British athletes, that have been earlier banned for application of prohibited drugs wait for the decisions connected with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.
